Noisebridge is a space open to pretty much anyone! We welcome anybody that likes to tinker and hack on thing, and are generally nice. On average we don't appreciate people looking for a half way house to sleep in, steal things, or looking for free beer and people to annoy.

'''If you don't have any keys to the space''', simply press the door bell on the right of the gate labeled "Noisebridge" with tiny text. If there's someone in the space (most likely) they'll simply buzz you in.

−

'''If you know other people are already there''', simply use your existing key to open the front gate. The two glass front doors should be unlocked if there are other people there.

−

'''If the glass front doors are locked''', you need a key to them. This requirement will go away if/when the maglocks are installed.

I'm going to cover the cost of the prox controller and reader. I'll need some cable mounting hardware from the hardware store, about another $50.

These doors should not, as a matter of course, be locked. Previous policy was "You should lock the front doors as you leave if you are the last person in the building and it is not between 8-5 (any day of the week)." BUT so few NB users have keys, we have discussed with the landlord and we no longer are locking this door.

Both locks are double cylinder, for a total of 4 keyways. The keyway closest to the southwest is damaged and doesn't work. As a result, the procedure to lock the front doors is:

The front gate is an iron gate with an electric mortise strike driven by the intercom pad next to the north stairwell door. This door uses a Schlage lock keyed to the version A key. Because this gate is shared with our neighbors and the landlord, they all use Noisebridge keys to get in the gate.

Both locks are double cylinder, for a total of 4 keyways. The keyway closest to the southwest is damaged and doesn't work. As a result, the procedure to lock the front doors is:

Close both doors and lock the south door from the inside.

Exit through the north door.

Lock the north door from the outside. This cylinder turns counterclockwise to lock.

Exit through the front gate and remove any cable holding it open.

To unlock the front doors:

Unlock the north door. This cylinder turns clockwise to lock.

If you want both doors open because you have a bicycle or other large object, unlock the south door from the inside.

You probably shouldn't relock the door unless you have a good reason, as members with only an 83c key will not be able to enter.

This door uses generic Schlage compatible wards and uses the standard Noisebridge version A key. You can turn the cylinder either way to unlock the door. Be warned that this cylinder may require quite a bit of force to turn.

Automatically Closes: No. (And don't forget to close it or the call buttons on other floors won't work.)

The elevator takes about 33 seconds to go between the first and third floors, while walking at a normal pace up the stairs takes about 20 seconds. Thus, the stairs may be used more often than the elevator for members without bicycles.

There's a sliding glass door which leads to a scary metal fire escape outside. The fire escape has stairs that go to another sliding glass door on the second floor which you aren't going to use. There is also an escape ladder on that same second floor landing which you are going to use if the building is on fire.

This goes down two floors and dumps you in a little area that seems to have been commandeered by some rats and flies. There is also fruit. In theory you can get out of the building through here, but you're probably not going to be happy about it. Make sure you don't end up stepping on any of the mouse traps.

Locked with a Schlage BE365. Use your regular 83c key to turn the tumbler 90 degrees, then push it in to engage the thumbturn with the locking mechanism. The door is currently a little out of alignment so you might have to tug upwards on the doorknob to get the bolt to engage.
